<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I've run into a bit of a dilemma when searching for colleges to attend. I'm an incoming high school senior. I live in Southern California and would like to stay here for college. However, there aren't many schools that a nearby. I would like to attend a UC (namely UCI), but it's around an hour away from my home (without traffic). My dream school is UCLA, but it's highly unlikely that I'll be accepted. Unfortunately, that is also the closest UC to my home.</p>
<p>I am hoping that someone could suggest some other good schools within the same price range of the UC's that I could possibly look into.</p>
<p>Another problem is that my parents are dead set against me living on campus during college. They basically do not want me to move out until I get married. Therefore, it is a lot more difficult for me to find a school that I'm interested in attending that I could also commute to. I definitely do not want over an hour's commute (such as with UCI) so I'm wondering if there are really any other schools for me to consider.</p>
<p>Also, if I am forced to live on campus, what are some ways that I could help pay for it?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
